Sneaksie

Here's mod which alters the sounds in the game. Made by Sukhodrischev for Russian version, should work on BF one too. http://dump.ru/files/j/j162506073/

Hello! What patch you have installed? If it is for Russian version by mistake, game will crash.

Yes, in coming MP patch.

Patch is sceduled to be released before October. Some details are available in 'Semi-official 'work in progress' report' thread.

Creating MP missions will be more easy with mission editor wizard. You will be able select any combination of armies and set restrictions to variety of possible armies in the editor for each MP mission. Reinforcements and off-map support in MP are not possible in the moment, maybe in addon. Host can kick other players from the game during setup phase, kicking during battle is against the rules.

It's in the works.

Just delete them.

Fredrikdenstore You have Theatre of War with patch 1.3.0.56 patch installed, right? Please run first tutorial mission in the full game and tell us your FPS at the beginning, then run the first tutorial mission in the demo. FPS shouldn't differ. If they differ, we may have narrowed down the problem.

Gnasher, it may be a problem with older autosaves. Try to create new profile and run your campaign from it, tell us what happened.

Demo worked fine on the same laptop? Very interesting. We'll look into that matter ASAP.

Fetid Thanks for your suggestions, i told mission designers about your changes to Arras mission. They asked, on what historical sources you've based your suggestions (about presence of B1, S-35s and such).

Fredrikdenstore, we are not ignoring you. We are trying to help you, but we can't reproduce this bug. Please run dxdiag (Start - Run - type 'dxdiag' - press OK) and save the report to file. Then send this file to dina@1c.ru. We'll see what can be done. Next time, you should try a demo first. This way you won't get the game which is not up to your expectations and potential conflicts with your hardware like this FPS one would be known before purchase.

Added.

Banquet, very good job:) I liked unusual (for TOW videos) and surprisingly fitting choice of music.

Everyone has an image of a perfect game, and TOW problem imho was that many people expected it to be perfect WW2 tactics game. Thus, because TOW is not perfect (there is no perfect game), after release almost everybody did not found something they wanted badly (enterable buildings, quick battles, etc.). We are trying to make it as more enjoyable as possible, while keeping it's unique features intact.

Guys, relax. I'm not promoting it and i'm not trying to talk you into buying anything. It's completely different genre than TOW and i just think it might be worth a look. Nothing more than that:)

Not only that, you can assign computer allies to you or your friend and have them help you to fight an alliance of 4 hostile AIs, for example. We are testing new MP missions now. MP code is being optimized too, as i said.

It's not about Theatre of War, but it's about WW2. If you are interested in WW2 period as a whole and play not only tactical and stategy games, i thnik you'll definitely like this. The game is called 'Death to spies' and plays very much like Hitman series of games. You are an operative of soviet counter-intelligence and must carry out various missions behind enemy lines using disguise and everything you can. I've played through Russian mission and had a blast:) In the demo there is a tutorial mission and mission were you must eradicate three SS officers in beautiful occupied Belorussian village. http://www.worthdownloading.com/game.php?gid=1968

For me, Polish campaign is the hardest. It's a pity, because many people naturally played it first and were frustrated. I found difficulty in new Normandy campaign much more manageable, hopefully you guys will try it soon.

Are you sure you've tried checking "Use only one CPU" option in game configuration tool? Such low FPS was reported while running the game on some AMD processors and solved by doing this.

It's strange, i've played some MP myself when game was released and 1vs1 never game me problems. No matter - with new MP code mission with 8 players (4 devs on local LAN and 4 fans from different parts of Russia, all players loaded within ~6 minutes) was succesfully played some time ago, and the work on MP patch is continuing. We'll try to optimise it further as best as we can.

In short, damage accumulation. For example, repeated hits into already disabled turret will eventually shatter and destroy internal components (including crew).

Removing not needed squads from roster ======================== Maybe, in wishlist now. Semi-auto rifles animation ======================== Right now animators have other tasks, maybe later. Option for 'hold' being default stance ======================== Maybe, in wishlist now. Return to previous camera position after unit view ======================== Problem is, it was that way and was found uncomfortable by Battlefront and 1C before release. More planes, different loadouts for them (rockets, bombs) ======================== Work is underway, will be in addon unless serious problems arise. Button/unbutton ======================== In general, problem lies in crew animations. By lead designer estimation, making neccessary animations for tanks only (not SPGs and armored cars) will require 180 hours of work and more. Make camera travel further ======================== If you rise camera to high altitude (200+m)and move it to the edge of the map, you'll see graphical artifacts already (sharp texture detalisation transition). Min distance to map's edge is 180m now and lowering it further will result in you being able to see ugly 2d trees, pixels with size of a car, etc. Bad;)

As i said in another thread, there is very little in common left between IL2 and TOW. Current MP code (which will be in upcoming patch) allows 8 players maximum (it can be 4x4 or other combinations). Maximum number of separate units in MP is around 100 units in the field in any given moment.

4. Hold off enemy counterattack;)
